Headteacher for Independent Special Needs School

The Belsteads School are looking for an experienced Head Teacher to lead the exciting next stages of our development. We are a small school set in 11 acres of beautiful Essex countryside with a current cohort of 18 pupils with a range of special educational needs, social, emotional and behavioural difficulties. The school is still in its infancy and is on the journey towards a short term vision of "good" and long term vision of "outstanding" status after a positive Ofsted visit in September 2018. 

The school is owned by a passionate proprietor who allows a Head the freedom to express themselves and shape a school with a holistic and child centred ethos at its heart.

The school heavily focusses on the social, emotional and life skill development for our pupils and currently offers Forest School, on site Golf, Horse riding, a full time PAT dog and 11 acres of rural land, with the freedom to create innovative additions to the curriculum. The school is looking for an experienced leader, that is creative, hands on, with a love of the outdoors, who is also prepared to have certain teaching responsibilities to really drive the quality of education. 

The school is supported by an excellent School Improvement Officer who is very much on board with what we are trying to achieve. 

The Belsteads School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all members of staff to share this commitment. Successful applicants will be subject to an enhanced DBS check.
